Negative falsification.

randman writes:

So from a layman's perspective, it appears to me that since the fossil record now negatively falsifies ToE that evos claim it was never important in the first place.

I am glad that you at least agree that the fossil record does not positively falsify the theory of evolution.

Percy,

Don't you think that, by designating it a 'nonsense' thread, you might create the impression that you are taking sides? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use some other indication that the thread isn't moving much?

Re: I like this language.

Ha! You beat me to it to comment on the sub-topic title. I wish people paid more attention to using it well.

Mindset

IrishRockhound writes:

You are the one claiming it may support ID. You are the one saying the evidence shows something other than the currently accepted view. Therefore the onus is on you to present your ideas, and show us how the evidence fits ID better than the ToE. Recall that I said science is not in the business of proving a negative; we will not try to disprove your hypothesis. You must either support what you say or accept that it will be disregarded.

It's no use, Rockhound. You forget that Randman is a descendant(!) of the kind of people who used to say: "Although we say that you are a witch, to avoid the stake you must prove that you're not."

That's the mindset you're fighting.

Distortion

randman writes:

But hey, facts and logic don't matter here it seems to evos.

On the contrary, they're the only things that matter here to evolutionists.

A fully land mammal, hooved, not aquatic or semi-aquatic in the slightest is, by golly, a whale, because we say so!

No, because you say we say so. But we don't. You are doing what all creationists do, you distort what we say.
